The Rochester Municipal Archives Deposit consists of materials on deposit with the Local History & Genealogy Division of the Rochester Public Library by the Rochester Municipal Archives. As such, these materials have not been accessioned by the Rochester Public Library; the library provides them with an appropriate preservation environment and access point. The deposit consists of fragile ledger books containing records from multiple City of Rochester departments, including the Fire Department, City Court, Board of Health and Bureau of Police. They range from court dockets to meeting minutes, with the single largest component of the deposit consisting of record books from early fire companies. Materials in the deposit date between 1827 and 1934, with the bulk dating from the 19th century.
